CACAO CEREMONIES

A Cacao Ceremony is a journey to oneness, love and bliss. 

What is a cacao ceremony?
We rush through our days as if we are in a race. We barely take time to stop and ponder what is working and what is not in our lives. We live disconnected from our true purpose in life and our soul's mission.  

A cacao ceremony is an opportunity to pause, reflect and receive wisdom. Mama cacao will guide you in an inner journey to clear the fog within you to see clearly in which direction you need to go. It is an opportunity for self-reflection and a deep connection to the source.

I remember being very skeptical the first time I drank cacao. What could happen? Was it that powerful? I had my doubts. Yet, I was open to trying it; therefore, I went for it. The first time I participated in a ceremony and drank this potent, medicinal drink (by the way, very different from the cocoa people drink at home), the expansion and connection I felt was immense.

I remember feeling this explosive joy and connection to the source. My heart chakra opened in ways I had never experienced before. On other occasions, I have experienced a creative energy spurt. Every time is different, but the common theme is heart opening and expansion, at least for me. It is a journey to oneness, love and bliss.

A typical ceremony involves a group of people sitting in a circle, setting intentions, drinking cacao, sharing without judgment, and allowing cacao to guide them to an elevated meditative state.
Each ceremony has a different theme; therefore, various tools might be used, such as sharing, guided visualizations, breathing techniques, Tibetan Singing Bowls, oracle cards, mantras, fire ceremonies, etc.

​Rest assured, Judit will hold space for you to feel safe and nurtured so you can get all the benefits from the ceremony. 

The cacao you will drink during the session will be prepared by Judit with lots of love and respect for this medicinal plant and following the protocols that she has learnt from her training. 
What many of us come to know as chocolate is worlds apart from the plant medicine it's made from. During a cacao ceremony, we will be drinking the real thing!

Cacao, when sourced thoughtfully, prepared ceremonially and enjoyed with intention, it is a potent energetic medicine for the mind, body and soul.

Benefits of cacao
Spiritual Benefits you will get from a cacao ceremony:
  • Cacao allows you to connect with yourself, and others, in a more profound way than before.  
  • Cacao allows you to connect to your higher self, opens up your creativity, and brings mental clarity and peace. 
  • Cacao assists you to quiet the mind, connect to the wisdom and spirit within you.
  • Cacao helps you to release emotional blockages.
  • Cacao enhances focus and provides mental agility.

Cacao is one of the healthiest superfoods in the world.
It contains 400–500 different compounds. Here are just a few of the goodies it has: iron, theobromine, magnesium, zinc, phosphorous, antioxidants (Cacao is the highest antioxidant food in the world!). But besides all of these great ingredients, the two main reasons why most people love cacao are:
  • PHENYLETHYLAMINE: The famous love chemical, usually only produced by the brain, gives you the happy-exciting feeling you feel when falling in love.
  • ANANDAMIDE: The bliss chemical makes you feel euphoric and therefore works as a natural antidepressant.

Where does the ceremonial cacao I use come from?
From CacaoAmor. CacaoAmor provides 100% Artisan and Ceremonial Grade Cacao. In a nutshell, artisan and ceremonial means it comes from heirloom trees of wild heritage. The Cacao is hand-harvested, picked and selected by hand. All the processes are made by hand with some support from kind to Cacao machines and is hand packed with so much love. Our paste is made from Cacao seeds of hundred per cent native trees from a remote area in Manabi, Ecuador. Trees that are unique to this region, and fall under the category of 'Arriba Nacional', the rarest Cacao variety, recognized globally for its unique and gorgeous flavor profiles! ​

We believe all these factors are important for Cacao to be classified as 'Ceremonial'. Cacao is delicate and complex, the way it is prepared makes all the difference between a Cacao with high nutritional value and intact antioxidant properties and a block of ground cacao beans. We take extra care in the process of its creation from fermentation to stone grind into paste, where we ensure that the beneficial bio-active compounds in the Cacao are optimized and not destroyed!
